Trade deadline day is by far my favorite day of the year. And as has been the case since I started this blog back in 2007, I will be posting every trade and rumor out there as well as any Rangers news in this one post that will be updated throughout the day and into the evening. Today and July 1st are the only two days that I blog about teams other than the Rangers. It’s just too fun a day to leave anything out. And of course if you guys see something I haven’t posted, please leave it in the comments section or e-mail me at (nyrfan94@yahoo.com). And here we go…
